I have been on the hunt for a coffee maker that has multiple functions. This is honestly THE BEST machine I have ever owned. The coffee is by far the best tasting brewed in this. I've used the same pods in multiple machines but the Barista Bar 4 in 1 creates the best flavor of any machine I've used. It also brews it hotter which I love too.

So far, this coffee maker is everything they advertise it as. The drip coffee maker side works great, just like our old Cuisinart coffee maker, and the Keurig/Nespresso side functions great with either type of pod. The directions are pretty easy, considering it is a multi-functioning machine. The steam wand works great, after a few learning attempts. My wife and I both enjoy the versatility of being able to enjoy a drip pot or an espresso drink whenever we want.

All of the functions of this coffee maker do what they're supposed to do. Single serve coffee, espresso and pots of coffee. My big problem with this machine is the terrible instructions. Nowhere do they explain how many times you need to push the on/off button to get the brewer to start making a pot of coffee (it's 2) and nowhere do they explain that you need to push the on/off button twice to turn the hot plate off. The first time I used it I ended up having to unplug the entire pot to get it to stop! I am a college educated person - it shouldn't be this hard to write clear, concise instructions for a pot like this.

Good news, found out how to make 1 espresso shot. Not sure about all the functionality at this point BUT, my biggest concern is the literal Cup Holder is wonky for like every coffee mug we own! Even taking out the plastic sleeve thingie. That part is a fail I'm afraid...

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] 2nd one I've had in the last 2 months and it still won't make a full cup of coffee on the 10oz pod setting. Very frustrating.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] So this hits all the boxes for me! Brews a full pot of coffee and also does standard pods but it also does Nespreaso pods and has a steamer!!! And it take refillable pods. Yeah.

All of the features work extremely well. The coffee is really hot, which is something I was looking for. The steamer is great once you get the knack for it!

I like my coffee hot. If you are like me, don't buy this coffee maker. It doesn't keep the coffee warm enough even when you turn the warmer plate on. Very disappointed!

The removable water tank for single serve is huge and doesn’t need refilled often if using for espresso. The filter in each tank is a huge step up from our past machine. The flavor through all 3 options is a shocking step up as well. The 12 cup portion operates as any coffee maker should and is very easy to use. The single-use side is great. As some one who likes variety when it comes to coffee, this machine allows for so much variability and can satisfy a crowd. The single-serve side only takes 1-2 minutes per cup at most and the 12-cup side takes about 10 minutes. The only thing that could make it better is if you could use both sides at once, but understandably you cannot. The hot water/frother is an excellent addition as well. After a light wipe down and running the setup cycles there’s no machine taste or anything weird, just great coffee. The good reusable filter makes great coffee and the self-clean feature couldn’t be simpler. I would recommend this machine to anyone looking for a good coffee maker whether they need the single-serve side or not.

I absolutely love this coffee machine! I have used Cuisinart coffee makers for years and have never been disappointed. I like having the charcoal filters in the water reservoir. If you're a coffee lover, this is it for you! You have many coffee options (carafe, k-cups,espresso ) the added bonus of a steamer,frother. The book also has recipes. I did watch a video on YouTube before initial use... Very helpful since there are so many ways to use it.
